Today I asked my journalism prof (a wonderful, smart woman) for advice about whether or not I should do the HuffPo article.
On the one hand, it doesn’t pay, it would take an assload of research and time (time that I don’t really have, what with my heavy courseload this semester), and it’s not even guaranteed to be published.
On the other hand, it’s great exposure, great practice, and could be fun.
She basically gave me permission to slack off in my electives for the next couple weeks in order to make time to do this, because she thinks it’s worth doing. So that’s what I’m gonna do.
Just lined up a phone interview with the founder of one of my favorite sex toy companies for tomorrow. If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be talking to Ethan Imboden on the phone, I would’ve laughed in your face.
